Have you noticed the vibrant colors across the landscape over the past week? It is hard not to notice them. Perhaps it is part of living in Grand Rapids the prior 15 years, but I don’t remember the changing colors being quite so beautiful. When the sun hits the trees, the colors are so vibrant. As I look out my study window, I can see beautiful shades of red, orange, yellow, and green. I don’t think the best artist could do any better.
A scene like that makes me think of Romans 1:20-21:
20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. (ESV)
So, my question to you this morning, is, when you look out at the beauty of God’s creation, are you going to pause and consider the power and majesty of God that is displayed, or will you just see the colors without thought of God, who crafted the trees in such a way that the leaves change color in the fall? I hope the colors lead you worship our Triune, Creator-Redeemer, God!
In His grip,
Pastor Decker
